Answer:

Antibiotic resistance can evolved in bacterial population in the following ways:

Explanation:

  • In response to constant exposure to antibiotics some members of a bacterial population develop some beneficial mutations in some essential genes that gives them survival advantage in terms of food and space over the sensitive bacterial strains and hence they are capable of out-competing the sensitive bacteria.
  • This happens due to the process of Natural Selection.
  • These genes are called antibiotic resistance genes and bacteria usually carry them on plasmids in form of cassettes where genes resistant to multiple drugs are incorporated. These plasmids are called the MDR or Multi-Drug Resistance Plasmids.
  • These resistant plasmids can be easily transferred among bacterial populations by conjugation, transformation or transduction or direct plasmid transfer.
  • The resistant genes encode for proteins that render the drug ineffective by promoting their efflux from the cells, preventing their entry into the cell, chemically modifying them such that they become non-functional or altering the target site of the drug.

When you hear the term mutation, you usually think of change. But how do mutations influence traits that may be inherited?
lana [24]

Hereditary mutation - may be passed to another generation, occurs in gametes, variation that may enhance survival.

Somatic mutation - not passed from generation to generations, occurs in body cells.

Both- changes in DNA.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Mutations are defined as sudden changes in DNA that takes place by changing a particular nucleotide or a portion of DNA, or even a whole chromosome which has potential to change characters of an organism. Mutation was first proposed by Hugo de Vries who is also known as the Father of Mutation Theory.

Mutations can occur in any cell of body. It may occur in somatic cells, or in germ mother cells. But the mutations that occur in germ mother cells are actually the mutations that are carried forward by the gametes into next generations. Mutation in somatic cells get obliterated as the organism dies. And the Mutation in gamete cells are those mutations which are capable to cause variations in progenies which can led to better survival of the progenies.
